the first time in more than a decade, China is not the world's worst jailer of
the press in CPJ's annual census of imprisoned journalists. Among the 27 jailed in China,
one group has seen a massive jump in imprisonments. In another first since CPJ
began taking its census, more than half of those behind bars for reporting in
China are ethnic Uighur or Tibetan. What's more, two Uighur journalists have
been unaccounted for since their scheduled 2011 release. The
